Apple released iOS 10

Apple released iOS 10.2.1 and MacOS 10.12.3 on 25th January 2017. The update seems to be more of a minor performance improvement. To the disappointment of many iPhone users, Apple failed to address the now infamous 30% battery bug, which can affect every iOS 10 compatible iPhone with the exception of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The bug causes handsets running iOS 10 to switch off around the 30% mark. Apple has yet to admit the problem extends beyond the iPhone 6S. However, for iPhone 6s the company has opened a limited battery replacement service.

New App Animations

Apple has made some improvements to the app opening and closing animation. The apps now have more rounded edges compared to the rectangle images exists currently.

Find Your AirPods

Apple added a new ‘Find My AirPod’ option inside the Find My Phone app. The new feature will track the last known location where your AirPods were connected to an Apple device over Bluetooth. However, unlike Find My iPhone, the scope and range of the finding AirPods are limited within the Bluetooth range.
